Political Stuff - Congress Power Reversal

Barack Obama and his staff are worried about the upcoming congressional elections because there is a good chance that the Republicans will take power in congress. This concerns Barack because now all of his big idea from this time on like a major energy bill will most likely be stopped every time they hit congress. This will inevitably force Barack to move onto an area of politics that is not as contested like his democratic ideals. Foreign affairs will most likely become the forefront of political activity for the last 2 years of his term.

This is bad. Simply put having this happen will slow progress to a crawl. Even though the Republicans are against most of his bills doing something is better than doing nothing. At this point in time the political parties no longer try to help people directly. What they do is try to keep ideals for their party going and will deny the other parties ideas. Which is why there is so much conflict. Back to the subject though this power reversal will like stated in the article, force Barack to turn to foreign affairs where congress won't be as restrictive. That is exactly what we shouldn't be doing. At this point who cares about Iraq, Iran, or Afganistan. I dont. We have bigger problems to deal with here on our own soil. Nobody with any common sense which generally excludes republicans can say that we have to deal with other countries before our own. In this world the first country that should be dealt with is our own. We are in a recession and many people are jobless and there is minimal manufacturing here in the U.S. We should address these issues before we go off policing the world like we've become accustomed to. We no longer have to do such a thing. We have the UN. They can deal with this problem, we have our own problems. Screw fixing Iraq they can work it out on their own just like every other country did. So power reversal in congress is a horrible thing unless they allow Barack to continue with his domestic reforms that help us here in the U.S the supposedly most powerful country in the world that cant get its finances in order enough to not go red for one year. So until we know what happens in congress i can not say anything particular but because we already know how its going to turn out ill just say. Screw the future republicans that are going to block Barack and his domestic reforms. Let him go last time we allowed a president to pretty much do whatever he wanted(FDR) we got out of a depression so lets let it happen again. BARACK OBAMA RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!
